TERMS & CONDITIONS
1. Original work and film photography only
All photographs, text, essays, interviews, and other creative materials submitted (collectively, your "work") must be your original creation. All photographs must be created using film or other analogue photography mediums. Digital submissions are not accepted unless they originate from analogue processes (e.g. scanned film prints).
2. Ownership and copyright
You retain full copyright and ownership of any work you submit to She Shoots Film.
3. Licence to use
By agreeing to these terms, you grant She Shoots Film a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to publish, display, reproduce, and distribute your work on our website, in print publications (printed and distributed globally), and across our social media, exhibitions, press releases, or promotional materials.
To keep our platform open and accessible to everyone, we do not charge any submission or entry fees. In turn, all work is submitted on an unpaid basis, and contributors will not receive monetary compensation, royalties, or fee payments for the selection, publication, or distribution of their work.
4. Credit and attribution
We will always endeavour to credit you wherever your work is published or shared. However, for third-party media features or external promotional shares where technical constraints exist, we cannot guarantee attribution, and you waive any legal claim related to missed or omitted credits in those specific external instances.
5. Editing and presentation (Moral Rights Consent)
Your work may be cropped, resized, colour-corrected, or otherwise edited to suit the format, printing process, or medium. We will not make major alterations without your permission. To the extent permitted by law (including under the Australian Copyright Act 1968), you consent to these modifications and to the attribution conditions outlined in Clause 4, and agree that such uses will not constitute an infringement of your moral rights.
6. Your warranties
By submitting your work, you confirm and warrant that:
You are the sole copyright holder or have the necessary permissions to license the work to She Shoots Film under these terms.
You have obtained all necessary permissions and model releases from any identifiable individuals appearing in the work, including explicit written consent from parents or legal guardians for anyone under 18 years of age.
Your submission does not infringe any third-party rights, including copyright, trademark, privacy, moral rights, or defamation laws in Australia or internationally.
7. Legal compliance and indemnity
You must not submit any material obtained unlawfully or in breach of any local, national, or international laws. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless She Shoots Film against any claims, losses, damages, or expenses (including legal fees) arising from a breach of your warranties under these terms.
8. Editorial discretion
Submission does not guarantee publication. We reserve the absolute right to select, edit, or decline submissions at our discretion.
9. Withdrawal of work
Due to the perpetual and irrevocable nature of the licence granted, once you have agreed to these terms, you cannot withdraw your work from print, and we are under no obligation to remove, retract, or recall your work from our print publications, digital platforms, or social media. For published digital features only, you may submit a written removal request to hello@sheshootsfilm.photography; any digital adjustments or removals remain entirely at our sole editorial discretion.
10. Contributor information
If you provide personal information such as your name, email address, or social media handle as part of your submission, this information will be used solely for the purpose of managing your submission, providing credit, and contacting you if necessary.
11. Governing law and jurisdiction
These terms and conditions are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Victoria, Australia. You irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Victoria and the Commonwealth of Australia to settle any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with these terms.
